Samantha and I decided to walk over to Walmart to pick up a few things on Saturday. Amongst the items on my list were a feminine hygiene product. I had a photograph of the previous product on my phone to make sure I got the correct one. We had just left and my phone was asking if I wanted to update, I went ahead and approved it, thinking I wouldn’t need it right away anyways. We get over to Wally World and Samantha picks out a gift for the birthday party she was going to on Sunday. Then we headed over to the feminine aisle and I pulled my phone out, still updating. Crap! So I took a guess at what I needed, grabbed a 5 month supply package that’s how confident I was. We picked up a few other things and headed home.
As I started to play with my phone and see what was updated, I noticed a couple of changes.
- My Accuweather app was gone, which sucks because I liked that one better than the Weather Channel app and I had the widget so I didn’t have to click to go to the app and find out the temperature. So now I’m using the damn Weather Channel app. It has a widget as well, but I don’t like it as well as I did the Accuweather one.
- They still haven’t fixed the issue with the wifi. My stupid phone will attempt to use the wifi sometimes even if the wifi is so weak it can’t really connect. It’s supposed to switch over to the network but it’ll continue to try to connect and therefore, not do a damn thing. All I have to do is turn the wifi off and it’ll connect and not be an issue, but I shouldn’t have to do that. I generally leave the wifi on because I listen to music at work and the wifi drains my battery a lot less when I’m streaming it there.
- The worst change, I had a notebook app where I made notes on stuff to blog about. It’s now gone. I had 5 or 6 blog ideas, including 3 more Cousins stories labeled. And they are all gone. I’ve thought of 3 of them and that’s it. The notepad app I’m using now syncs with my Google account now so it’s online as well but that does me no good as far as remembering what else was on the previous app. The cousins posts really piss me off because I enjoy those but for the life of me, I can only remember one of them.
Stupid updates. They may fix some of the bugs but they always make it more than a pain in the ass then anything.
By the way, I did get the right product for my wife. This isn’t my first rodeo. I am the period connoisseur, period.
Ha! Well done on the hygiene product. But commiserations on the apps, I know how much that must suck.
ReplyDeleteI should have waited to post, I've found more annoyances since.
DeleteWeather bug is a good weather app. It has a widget for the temps. I know where you're coming from on the feminine hygiene. I know brands and types for all 5 girls. It's a gift as well as a curse.
ReplyDeleteI will check out the weather bug because I don't like the one I have.
DeleteYikes! I keep blog ideas on my phone as well. Never thought about the possibility of losing them...until now. Thanks. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt sucks, I had about probably around 10 and now I have 4. I'm using something called inkpad, it syncs online as well.
DeleteGuess I'll eventually break down and invest in a smartphone someday so my wife can take pictures of what she wants and send me to the store to get it. Pretty good idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do use Weatherbug on my desktop computer, pretty nifty little app.
I couldn't go without my smart phone. I bought one with a big screen because I hardly ever use it as a phone. I usually use under 10 minutes a month.
